Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.10.05 10:47:00 - [1] Originally by: Alex Tremayne Originally by: Deepeh Who the **** cares? Why make the Hyperion a blaster boat? The Megathron does the job fine. The Megathron does the job barely adequately. Funny how gallente pilots keep saying this, and yet the megathron can sometimes even take on two battleships and kill them both before being in structure... --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate

Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.10.05 13:16:00 - [3] Originally by: JoCool Although I am a Caldari myself and fly nothing else, I fear the Rohk as being too strong with 8 turrets, the range bonus, the shield resistance bonus AND one more slot. No kidding. The Maelstrom that actually NEEDS tracking computers (since it doesnt have a range bonus and artillery tracking is awful) gets perhaps 5 medium slots (and its a shield tanker!), but the Rohk looks to get 7 medium slots...and sure, it really needs those 7 slots, because it will take alot of damage being 250 km from the target (longer range than any other ship in the game)... </irony> Oh well. I shouldnt get into these threads... I guess I just dont understand balance. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate

But with the Maelstorm even that role will be limited. Only way for the tempest to outdamage a maelstorm are by using it's utility slots which it really can't in fleet duty. Add to this more slots and probably higher base lock range and I see little reason to use a tempest for fleets (other than to save some isk). I think people will prefer the Tempest even with the Maelstrom in the game, because I really dont see why you would want to use it for fleet sniping. I think it will be used for medium range gankage with Quake (since it wont have room for both shield tank and sensor boosters/tracking computers), and gate camping. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.10.05 14:49:00 - [5] Originally by: Rod Blaine I;d rather have an agile and fast ship then some type of half-tank. Fly a Tempest. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate

Of course you can, but Tuxford has to try and keep some sort of game balance. Its not just about throwing on a spiffy bonus and watch the ship catch and kill every non-blaster ship and be done with it. Would you like the mass reduction bonus and armor repping on the Tempest? I would. You probably wouldnt... --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate

I highlighted the important bit. That bit there means you should all try and calm down. Jeez... Very few people are going to believe that. Afterall, the tech 2 ammo stats on the test server were just "placeholders" that were there "for now". Its not like Tuxford communicates very often either. It was 2 months since he said anything about the ships, and in 2 months from now, Kali is supposed to be on TQ (december). So if people dont speak up now, they wont get the chance. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate

Thanks, CCP. I still get angry when I think about it. People trained minmatar to be fast and agile, and now he creates a fast and agile blastership for the gallente, which already have most of the best ships in the game for close/medium range pvp. Why? Because blasterboats have problems getting in range. Thats basicly their ONLY weakness, and Tux wants to remove it. Great... Well, at least he is considering something else than mass reduction for now ... --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
